WHAT MAKES LIFELINKS VRI DIFFERENT?
Actually---there are TEN advantages over traditional interpreting methods:
- All interpreters are certified, trained and experienced with medical, etc. terminology
- Video-interpreting is more cost-effective than on-site interpreting because you only pay for what you use. The foreign language video language costs little more than over-the-phone interpreting and results in more accurate sessions and more relaxed patients, while utilizing the hospital's broadband.
- Sign Language is available 24/7/365, on demand-no waiting for an on-call interpreter to arrive, or paying two-hour minimums!
- LifeLinks allows callers to select from any available sign language interpreter, and offers 150 spoken languages. You may even select the gender and specialty of the interpreter.
- Hospitals can provide sign language interpreting services concurrent with spoken languages, tailored to the hospital's specific language needs.
- Equipment is inexpensive, light in weight, mobile, modular and upgradeable. You own it. No leasing fees or minimum usage requirements.
- Hospitals own their own equipment; no leasing costs or camouflaged monthly minimum usage requirement.
- Interpreting sessions are recordable and digitally accessible.
- Interpreting units can attach to any in-room TV, regardless of location, and can be permanently attached to clinic televisions/monitors.
- The video can be accessed with as little as a web camera for $60 attached to your computer or COW(Computer On Wheels) LifeLinks is committed to providing a "personal touch" to each experience, while fully respecting every user's confidentiality and privacy.
